Firearms writer reports that glocks are the cause of many AD's and bad shootings because of the triggers. The short trigger stroke and no external safety have been the cause and they should not be service weapons. He also went on to say that under stress the trigger is covered by the finger and poor training will result in AD. I guess he wants everybody to go back to double action revolvers. This writer has many years of LEO experience.

I'm no expert, but I would hate to be a police officer w/ a 6 or 7 shot revolver and have to go up against a bad guy(s) w/ semi-auto weapons! Maybe more training and qualifying or change to a DA/SA weapon w/ decocker and have it holstered in DA or 1/2 cocked....?
I never cc'd my Glock 23 w/ round chambered for this reason.....didn't trust myself due to lack of training and range time.

Isn't that true of any firearm?... or pretty much anything for that matter. Poor training can result in motorcycle crashes, car accidents, falling off roofs, cuts while shaving, hang nails, etc.

If there is a problem, I would say it is more with the design of some retention holsters that place the release in a position to be pressed by the trigger finger. I think a thumb break is a much better option.
